just like whenever i got a feeling about politicians who were obsessed with showing how anti-gay they were that you're like damn they must be a fakkit themselves trying to deflect. and then later they turned out to be ... FLAMING fakkitS. they were just projecting so that they would be unlikely suspects. q'anon was started by pedos on those chan sites to do just that. so with your obsession with just parroting nonsensical claims about who is a pedo has me thinking something is up with you. something dastardly, it just doesn't smell right.
No disrespect but family why are we talking about this gross content in the thread? This is about Rubles gang not homophobia.

No one expected it to go this long and winter is coming.

Gas prices are one thing. Heating oil is another

The energy prices are already significant for big energy consumers, like the steel industry.
Some foundries were already concentrating the production on the weekends, to somewhat lower the energy prices...

On top of high energy cost, materials for steel production come from Russia and Ukraine...
They try some alternatives like Brasil or Indonesia, but the transportation costs skyrocket...
And blocking steel production then blocks a whole range of industries...

High material costs then block the public investments planned by EU for post-Covid Recovery, because a lot of tenders get no participants and need to reevaluate material costs.
Issuing a new pubblic tender lasts around two months (and after two months it's already too late and they need new material costs):



Also, Italy exports a lot of electriconics for German autoindustry, that suffers a lot because of the situation (both energy and materials)... When the German production gets blocked, so does Italian as a secondary effect...
A lot of companies have already asked for public subventions in order not to close.



The situation is already hurting EU economy.
